The Spanish Inqusition
> [|Info About The Inqustion]
 * The Spanish Inqustion was the cause of the Catholic Church trying to expel all non-Catholics out of Spain, including Muslims and Jews. These people tried to flee, but many didn’t succeed. Some changed their beliefs, but many were prosecuted for practicing their religion in secrecy and were killed. This conflict lasted for about 350 years until Spain was conquered by Napoleon in the Napoleonic wars. The French government changed the regulations and laws to make it equal, and ever since there have been equal rights for all religions in Spain. //Kevin L.//

 * The Spanish Inquisition started in 1478 and ended in 1834. It was both used for political reasons and religious reasons. The Jewish people in Spain had lent a tremendous amount of money to the King and instead of paying off his debt he killed and/or exiled many of the Jews in Spain. The reason for the religious part of the inquisition was basically because anyone who wasn’t Catholic was “different”. In 1483 Tomas De Torquemada became the Inquisition general for most of Spain. By 1540 the Inquisition shied away from the Jews and Muslims and aimed towards the Protestants in Spain. But by 1834 the Inquisition was officially over. –//Don// //I.//

This video is a clip from Monty Python and Flying Circus. The purpose of this video is to illustrate how the Spanish Inquisition was very sudden and that it was barely expected. (Relivant Scenes start 2 minutes into the video, 15 minutes into the video) (watching the rest of the video is pointless). -Don I. and Kevin L.

 * The Genocide tragic conflict in Darfur which will hopefully end in time. The Sudanese government and the "Janjaweed" are trying to stop the rebel forces; SLA (Sudanese Liberation Army) and JEM (Justice and Equality Movement) from asasulting and raping many innocent civilians. Many association aroudn the world have gathered around to help this cause. This grim agrument has lead to the deaths and suffering of 400,000 innocent people. It is time we stand up and help stop these tragic events. //Kevin L.//
 * So far, efforts to stop the Genocide in Darfur have been futile and have been barely progressing. The UN has gotten themselves involved in Darfur and have created “resolution 1556” which demands that the Sudanese government get rid of the Janjaweed. They have also created the Darfur Peace Agreement which was signed in May of 2006. Recently a Sudanese officer has been killed by a faction of a rebellion which infuriated the government who now swears revenge on the rebels. //Don I.//
